The Office of Energy Policy supports many energy activities across the Commonwealth that touch our schools, homes, businesses, communities and government facilities.
Funding provided by DOE under this program may be used to implement a wide range of resilience measures intended to mitigate the impact of disruptive events. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has been awarded 27 million in federal funds to implement grid resiliency projects over the span of 5 years.
This page provides information on the Office of Energy Policy's Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Project and past School/Transit Bus Replacement Program which were both funded by VW Settlement Funds.
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program is designed to assist states, local governments, and Tribes in implementing strategies to reduce energy use, to reduce fossil fuel emissions, and to improve energy efficiency.
Several of Kentucky’s state-supported universities and colleges have developed curricula to support Kentucky’s growing energy industry sector.
The primary purpose of the workgroup will be to develop projects eligible for funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Creation Act of 2021. Workgroup stakeholders will consist of academic institutions, individuals, organizations, and business focused on hydrogen production, transportation, delivery, and end use utilization opportunities.
The Office of Energy Policy is responsible for maintaining databases that quantify energy and its interaction with the environment and economy in the Commonwealth.
Entities receiving funding from the Office of Energy Policy will have reporting requirements as part of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), Grant Agreement (GA), or Personal Services Contract (PSC).
In late fall of 2016, in response to a Request for Proposals, the Energy and Environment Cabinet (EEC) submitted an application to participate in the National Governor’s Association Policy Academy on Power Sector Modernization to explore electricity sector trends and analyze the challenges and opportunities presented by a changing energy landscape.
The office has responsibility established by the Kentucky Emergency Operations Plan for Emergency Support Function (ESF)12. ESF 12 outlines procedures for coordinating and communicating energy issues during an emergency. The Commonwealth Energy Assurance Plan describes the existing energy systems in the state and their relation to emergency management in Kentucky (external link).
